Abstract:
      The work aims to study the sealing reliability of two kinds of fluorosilicone O-ring in high temperature, high pressure and high CO2 environment (25 MPa, 5% CO2, 120 ℃ and 7000 mg/L Cl‒). The actual conditions were simulated by the high-temperature and high-pressure autoclave. The stress state of the specimen was realized with self-grinding rubber O-ring sealing device. The corrosion resistance and sealing properties of two kinds of fluorine rubber O-rings were tested and evaluated in terms of physical properties, corrosion morphology and permeability resistance. The tensile strength of fluorosilicone O-ring decreased from 18.1 MPa to 13.4 MPa and the elongation at break decreased from 172.8% to 151.9% after corrosion under stress state. After the corrosion of AFLAS rubber O-ring under stress state, the tensile strength decreased from 21 MPa to 14.6 MPa, the elongation at break decreased from 277 % to 212.3 % and the hardness decreased from 84 HA to 75.5 HA. The surface damage of AFLAS rubber O-ring was serious. The permeability resistance of two rubber O-rings decreased with the increase of differential pressure and temperature. The degree of performance attenuation of two rubber O-rings under stress state was lower than that under free state. The fluorosilicone O-rings show better sealing reliability under stress state.
